Carnival Cruise Welcoming Party!

Hosted by Maritime Union of Australia Victorian Trades Hall Council Maritime Union of Australia - Victoria Branch

When

8:00am Wednesday 21 January

Where

Station Pier
6 Waterfront Pl
Port Melbourne VIC 3207
Australia

Why

At 8am Wednesday, Carnival Cruises is sailing into Melbourne for the Australian Open, and we're going to be there to give them the welcome they deserve.

Why? Carnival (finally) agreed to meet with us, but claimed their ships don't need union agreements because "their conditions are so good".

Well as it turns out ordinary Victorians have a different idea of "good pay and conditions" than fat cat American multi-billionaires. 
We will not allow this kind of exploitation to continue. Join us.

(text from organiser, March for Palestine):
🇵🇸JOIN US🇵🇸 The Free Palestine movement will rally outside of the State Library of Victoria on Sunday, 11 January at 12pm to oppose Israeli violations and protest the visit of Israeli President, Isaac Herzog to Australia. At least 406 people have been killed in Gaza since the commencement of the ceasefire while settler violence has increased in the West Bank. Herzog’s visit whitewashes Israeli atrocities as the state of Israel is currently on trial before the International Court of Justice for the crime of genocide. Herzog has been named in the International Court of Justice proceedings, with statements he has made such as there are “no innocent civilians in Gaza” evidencing genocidal intent. At the same time, we’re witnessing increased anti-Palestinian, anti-Arab and anti-Muslim racism and the despicable, baseless attempt to link the free Palestine movement with the horror of Bondi. The Palestinian people continue to be subjected to an illegal occupation and ongoing genocide at the hands of the state of Israel. The Gaza genocide continues, so must we. Join us on the 11th to march for Palestine. #freepalestine #freegaza
